The road is old and overutilized.
Kind of like the vaginal orifice on an old whore, eh?
Kind of like all of Florida, eh?
Everything in Naples is new...but it is overutilized.
That's odd. You sure try hard to push Naples as the best
place in
the
world. Well, you are wrong, as usual:
On the way to Naples' historic Pier is Palm Cottage, built
in
1895
and
reputedly Naples' oldest house, where guided tours are
offered in
season. Other historic buildings include the Naples
Commissary
Building
in Olde Naples, dating back to 1903, and the renovated
Naples
Depot
(1927), once the Naples Train Station and now displaying a
caboose
and
other railroad memorabilia. History buffs will also find
much of
interest at the Collier County Museum, which houses a
permanent
collection from Prehistoric times through to the present
day. You
will
learn about the early Indian settlements here and may wish
to go
on
to
visit an Indian Village in the area, where genuine Indian,
hand-crafted
artifacts are sold.
Why not just post the web site from which you plagiarized
your
information?

Good day, and Happy New Year!

Why do so? NOYB won't believe it anyway! He only believes
what he
wants
to believe. I've been to Naples. Many times. I know people
who's
families have lived in Naples for generations. It's just
like the
time
that NOYB was trying to tell everyone here that Naples
doesn't have
swampbillies.
Naples doesn't have swampbillies. Perhaps you're referring
to
Golden Gate Estates? Yes, it has a Naples mailing
address...but
it's not the same Naples that a couple hundred thousand
snowbirds
come down to visit every year.
The median home price in Naples is just a hair under
$400,000.
Swampbillies don't buy $400,000 homes.
You obviously haven't been to Naples in a long
time...probably not
since you worked parking lot security when the Wal-Mart was
being
built.
I thought a swampbilly was a homeless person who lived in your
part
of the country...
If being homeless is the definition of a "swampbilly", then
Naples has
no "swampbillies". I have never seen a homeless person in
Naples.
Then you are a blind man.
There are no homeless people in the sense that there are folks
sleeping
on the street. There are homeless people in shelters down here,
no
doubt.
Coming back from a cruise to the Bahamas
last week, I was astounded at the number of homeless folks in
the
neighborhood around Capt. Harry's tackle in Miami...which is
just a
couple of blocks from the American Airlines (or whatever they
call it
now) Arena and the waterfront.
It's also on the cusp of an area that has undergone a lot of
change,
and there is a homeless mission not far from the store...or
there was.
It's still there. Right across the street from Capt. Harry's.
Methinks you're just one of those good Christian Americans who
have no
idea about the poverty in their communities. The poverty rate in
Naples
city rose 50% between 1990 and 1996, and is now about the same
as the
rest of Florida, excluding Miami, which has a higher rate
because of
factors unique to it. Your poverty rate is about 10%.
Where are you getting your data? When you say "now", are you
referring
to 2000 census data? Things have changed quite a bit in 5 years.
Is
the data specific to Naples? Or is it for all of Collier County,
which
includes several poor communities like Immokalee, Everglades
City, and
Chokoloskee?
Regardless, living blow the level of poverty isn't the the same
thing as
being homeless. All homeless folks are below the poverty level,
but not
everyone who is below the poverty level is homeless.
Sheesh.
You live there and you're in the healing arts and you don't know
there
are homeless in your town?
I had no problem getting hits on "Naples" "Homeless," and these
were both
in the city and in the county.
Both are your area.
You posted very specific statistics for Naples. Where'd you get
that
data?
From my search. I got about 990 hits. I looked at a couple of them.
Why don't you just post a link to the stats? It should be in your
History
list.
Here, NOYB, call for yourself:

Thanks. They said that there are roughly 700 homeless people in Collier
County, but added that most of them were from Immokalee and other
surrounding communities. They couldn't say for sure how many were from
Naples.
There are 287,000 people in Collier County...700 of whom are homeless. I'd
like to know where Harry got his 10% statistic. And he specifically said
10% homeless *in Naples*.
